Revolutionary 'intelligent' tools that let you focus on design, not the design tools.

New Smart Dimension Tool makes for faster, more efficient annotation of your drawing, automatically recognizing and creating the correct dimension type for:

• Linear dimensions for parallel and orthogonal lines
• Angular dimensions for any angle
• Radial Dimensions for arcs
• Diameter Dimensions for circles
• Even add dimensions to 3D objects in Rendered or Hidden Line modes.

New Geometric Alignment Aids - Improved snap indicators and superior auxiliary line presentation, as well as other snap advances

• Improved Tangent Snaps
• Improved Projection Snaps
• Improved Perpendicular Line Snaps
• Improved Parallel Line Snaps
• Improved Tangent from Arc Snaps

• New Extended Node Editing for Cubes, Cylinder, and Cones

• New Compound Profiles in Blocks - A major enhancement to block handling, Compound Profiles can be generated, stored, and edited in a block section, saving valuable time.

• Improved Selection Info Palette puts all information about an object in one place and is now integrated with the Part Tree - no more jumping back and forth between palettes.

• New Dimension and 3D Layers are now created by default, so you don't have to think about it. When your image gets too cluttered, simply turn off the layer until you need it.

• Region Improvement - Creating a region from selected="selected" objects or by 2D Boolean operations is now up to 8 times faster.

Design, Draft & Present

• New LightWorks® v7.5 Photorealistic Rendering Engine
• New Terrain tool - Want to place your home or building design on a hillside or uneven terrain? It's a snap with the new Terrain tool. Create terrains from scratch or by importing Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) data from standard file formats.
• New options to display only foreground hidden lines Open up a world of presentation possibilities by overlaying hidden line renders on top of draft and quality rendered images.
• New Chamfer Angle Option - Specify the exact angle to be used in the Chamfer Command.
• Improved Multiline Text - Indent lines and paragraphs or create any number of tab stops.

• Delayed Paperspace Render - Don't be slowed down waiting for a render to happen. With TurboCAD 14, you control when and how your viewports in paperspace will render.

Step Ahead with Architectural Design

• New Parametric Stairs - Like doors & windows, stairs are fully parametric - Material, Stair Dimensions, including width, riser height, tread depth, riser count and how the stair terminates (with tread, riser or landing).
• New Wall Dimension Tool - Quickly assign dimensions to any straight wall, including dimension thickness.
• New Window & Door Schedules automatically generate. Adding a window or door into drawing dynamically updates the schedule and you have complete control over how text will appear.

Included in the Architectural version is the New additional Architectural Pack

Our industrial architectural toolset includes an edit profile tool, additional parametric windows and door types and shapes, new multi-landing, spiral, and U-shaped parametric stair styles plus:

Innovate with Mechanical Design

• New ACIS® v16 Solid Modeling Engine Upgraded from ACIS v15, you'll find many more improvements like improved healing when importing models and more.
• New Branch Lofting for one "trunk" and two or more 'branches'. New Branched Loft Tool manages both simple and compound profiles, minimizing what once took several operations.
• New Face to Face Lofting - Select two faces on different 3D objects and instantly build a lofting body to unite them.
• New Constraint Tool Option Angular Dimension for Arcs. Change the value of the angular dimension and watch it automatically update.
• Improved Part Tree lets you suppress any operation and delay update for quick "what if" scenarios. You can even hide portions of the Part Tree for re-rendering.

Better Compatibility

• AutoCAD® 2007 Support offers easy file sharing and file compatibility with updated DXF/DWG file import export.
• New Google SketchUp Support allows you to import your SketchUp 5 conceptual design files into TurboCAD, the quickly create precision designs with TurboCAD's advanced tools.
• Improved Linear Dimensions Import from DWG - Better, more accurate conversion of linear dimensions from an AutoCAD drawing into a TurboCAD drawing.

This product includes the full featured TurboCAD Pro 14, with hundreds of 2D and 3D design tools, plus these additional Architectural Design features;

• New Style Manager for Architectural Designs - Define styles and parameters for architectural object types, schedules, text and AEC dimensions. Define a style guide and manage how objects are defined, look and behave.
• Edit Profile Tool - customize an existing parametric Door or Window shape.
• Parametric Doors, Windows, & Stairs
• New Parametric Rails - This new parametric object type lets you define hundreds of rail types and set location, post position, and extension parameters.

"It's quite astonishing. I knew TurboCAD was inexpensive but didn't realise just what a bargain it is."
"...there is actually a hell of a lot going for TurboCAD in both price and features."
"I haven't mentioned the price yet, but at £525, it's almost half the price of LT which wouldn't know a staircase from a polyline. It's also only £27 more than the vanilla vesion of TurboCAD Pro 14! The Platinum version, which has absolutely everything is only £10 more. It's quite astonishing. I knew TurboCAD was inexpensive but didn't realise just what a bargain it is.
